kle500 non start
well, it turned out to be piston rings of all things . i did a comppresion test and they were well down . when i stripped the engine the rings were stuck in the piston groves and 2 were broken . i think it must have been the carb cleaner that did it . i have since put a gpz500 engine in and all is well at the moment i have yet to ride it but have an mot booked at the end of the month . while it was off the road i had the frame powder coated and most of the other parts blasted and powder coated as well just need to recover the seat now
